On September 29, friends and supporters of NEADS came together at The Exchange in Boston’s seaport district to celebrate the 8th Get Dressed. Give Back. fundraiser. It was an amazing night thanks to all who came, donated, and took part in this “fabulous event for a fabulous cause.”
We were pleased to welcome host Keith McGilvery, Fox 61 (back by popular demand), keynote speaker Tiziana Dearing, host of WBUR’s Radio Boston, and client speaker Patrick Cogan and NEADS Service Dog Knight.
Thank you also to the incomparable Martin & Kelly for providing live music, our vendors who hosted the pop-up shops – Kent Stetson, Polka Dog Bakery, Dulce de Leche, Kendra Scott, and the NEADS Shop – the NEADS Service Dog teams, volunteer Puppy Raisers, and everyone else who shopped, dipped, bid on silent auction items, and supported the event in so many ways.
